I crave retro futuristic. The flesh craves nostalgia. Also… pentiums and 512mb of ram would have fucking been cooked if they tried this lmao

meowMix2525 ,

Honestly though can we go back to the days or at least adopt design philosophies where the entire OS, programs, and everyday browsing could fit on just that much ram

ursakhiin ,

Think about the Pentium versions of the Celeron, too. XP was their peak time.

SynopsisTantilize ,

Honestly maybe even their only time to shine.

I love the attention to detail, putting the upsell “30days of msn premium” between the “start” and “all programs” buttons, beautiful.

Woah cool website, I don’t how’d you know about this but thanks you

How? Using Internet since more than 25 Years result in only ignoring the most new pages.

zaphod ,

Nice, even moving the computer into the trash worked as expected.

Even a community in GitHub with forks, mods and plug-ins.

github.com/win93-community/awesome-win93

SuperEars ,

That’s kind of overwhelming to me. It’s like there’s no bottom to that rabbit hole. I love it and I have so many questions.

I love this, I wasted so much time on my phone. The Playstation start up sound was amazing. I need to open it on a conputer

Half-Life 3 confirmed

Oh yeah, that’s gooooood…

The Doom (Gafa 3D) really works like the original, with some “differences”.

Baku ,

Vulve is my favourite company. Can’t wait for their new game store, stamp, to come out!

I preferred Yahoo Messenger to Windows solely due to the ROTFLMAO emoji… it kicked ass. Made me giggle every time I used it.

Zidane , (edited )

You missed out on hella custom emoticons. Had hundreds of "lol"s

Edit: and nudges lol

Hupf ,

Did it kick the llama’s ass?

What’s it called when you backport modern features to retro systems like this mockup? I swear there’s a word for this…

bradv ,

Hadriscus ,

Backtrackarrhea

jaybone ,

Backport-a-potty

Hadriscus ,

oh my god brilliant

Mango ,

nossaquesapao ,

It would be awesome if there was a community focused on that

Maven OP ,

Be the change you wish to see in the world

HootinNHollerin ,

I’d call it techlapse

Ok...someone do this but in an Atari 2600 theme. I wanna see what loot boxes and modern gaming shit would look in 160x192 128 color resolution.

gazby ,

I think you’re looking for “anachronism”: A thing belonging or appropriate to a period other than that in which it exists.

Matombo ,

tihi

but it’s also a very good visualization what windows user got slow boiled into

Look how they massacred my boy…

TankieTanuki ,

Is there an Easter egg or is this just nostalgia?

DaTingGoBrrr ,

Start menu looks like Win10/11 with ads, suggestions and news. This is not how XP used looked like

Liz ,

It’s so well done I image that everyone who was too young to use XP doesn’t realize this is satire.

bolexforsoup ,

Some Microsoft exec somewhere: “WRITE THAT DOWN”

Rolando ,

They will distribute this image and say: “See? It has always been this way…”

ZoraMystery ,

I don’t remember seeing all the internet links in the start menu.

Bongles ,

That’s the meme

Dkarma ,

Trash meme

Rolando ,

We’re in the trash timeline.

kuneho ,
@kuneho@lemmy.world avatar

Since at that time these shits weren’t really normalized, I can imagine some people would actually like these things and maybe even use them.

I like this image - it is really nicely done. I don’t like what it represents, but the image itself is decent.

jaybone ,

I remember seeing AOL on Win3.11 (I had been using telnet, pine, lynx.) and it looked like a bunch of spam ads.

EnderMB ,

Given that this was the prime time for Bonzi Buddy, I’m inclined to say I agree with you. People chose these things years ago, because it added more to the experience outside of “here is your word processor, here is notepad, here are the three games you have to play”.

kuneho ,
@kuneho@lemmy.world avatar

And Bonzi even was a 3rd party thing. Now imagine that shit, just built into the system by that time. 😅

Heck, even MSN Browser was a thing and I’m pretty sure just because it said “Good afternoon” or some shit when you launched it.

Surfing away with an administrator account.

@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

Trying to teach my in-laws not to do that was impossible.

barsquid ,

Maybe it was just easier to install those browser bars as admin.

knolord ,

That is the sole reason the UAC exists in post-Vista Windows.

@Zerush@lemmy.ml avatar

Windows is ideal for experts, Twilight Zone lovers and desire for adventure, for the rest Linux is better (In the beginning it was the other way around, the first Distros even caused some suicids)

TokyoMonsterTrucker ,

You could substantially de-uglify XP with a different theme, but, damn…that ugly

HAL_9_TRILLION , (edited )

No matter how much we loved XP we always knew that shit was ugly.

WELCOMETHRILLHO ,

Which one did I like? ME?

idkmybffjoeysteel ,
@idkmybffjoeysteel@hexbear.net avatar

Functional though, you could just open your start menu and find what you wanted immediately instead of typing to search for it like I have been doing for the last 5-10 years

Jolteon ,

Which one, black or silver?

DmMacniel ,

Homestead

idkmybffjoeysteel ,
@idkmybffjoeysteel@hexbear.net avatar

I had a cool grey and orange theme it was sexy, looked like a pack of Marlboro Black
